What are they worth these days? A penny.. they can be found at the bottom of your purse, on your countertop, at the bottom of your drive through coffee change compartement of your car, perhaps you even have a full jar of them at home. These days people just don't do anything with their pennies.

Until I fell upon Wish Upon a Penny on Etsy. I was surfing my Activity, checking out a cute studio, then I checked out their faves and found this. How cute is this? Penny art necklaces. Brilliant. Use those pennies, gift them and give them a new use (or value).

I love treasuries. It never fails to astound me the sheer amount of talent on Etsy and other indie artisans marketplaces. This treasury ‘raspberry delight’ is so beautiful and diverse and pieced together by Diane of PatchworkMountain.

Ok.. so everyday. How do you shake it when you feel so extremely tired? I feel like I’m sleep walking through my days and passing out so early in the evening. I need to re-energize and spend some quality time with my family & husband. What do you do to recapture some energy?

Wow, I'm so happy that the Canada Post strike/lock out is finally over. Living without mail for weeks has been scary, and also very inconvenient for a small business who relies soley on the mail for deliveries.

I had to shut my shops down for a few weeks in order not to leave all my fabulous customers in limbo.

In order to celebrate I'm offering 20% off all week & holiday weekend by using coupon code:

Behind the Scenes

I'm a little bit of a fabric addict. Seemingly I can not resist the touch & feel of beautiful fabric. I'm a busy mom of two fun little tots, a wife to a patient loving husband and a avid coffee drinker. You can find me at most moments of the day with a coffee in one hand OR my next cup brewing. Send me a note, leave a message & check out my two stores. Cheers!
